Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a substrate for a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a resin encapsulation type semiconductor device reduced substantially to a chip size suitable for high density packaging.
2. Description of the Background Art
Chip-size Package (CSP) semiconductor devices such as QFP (Quad Flat Package) type or BGA (Ball Grid Array) type devices have been in wide use to cope with the recent trend toward lighter and more compact apparatus in the market of electrical appliances and adapt to automated assembly process. Increased speed and number of functions in signal processing by semiconductor elements incorporated in these semiconductor devices require a larger number of external connection terminals.
In such a case, a BGA type device having external connection terminals arranged two-dimensionally at the bottom of the semiconductor device is employed. Some devices are formed to be as small as possible so that they can be incorporated into compact mobile equipment, in other words they are formed to have a size close to the chip size. In one of such BGA type devices, with the surface of a semiconductor chip having MOS transistors or the like formed facing up, connection is made to a wiring (interconnection) board by wire bonding to provide conduction with external connection terminals via a wiring (interconnection) pattern.
A cross section of a conventional resin encapsulation type semiconductor device (Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 9-121002) is given in FIG. 16.
As shown in FIG. 16, a semiconductor chip 11 is mounted on an insulating substrate 15, and a wiring pattern 16 for connection with semiconductor chip 11 is formed in an outer peripheral region of semiconductor chip 11. Semiconductor chip 11 and wiring pattern 16 are electrically connected by wire bonding using a gold (Au) wire 13. Provided in a region between semiconductor chip 11 and insulating substrate 15 is a land 17 for connection with an external connection terminal which covers the entire opening of a through hole 19 and is electrically connected with wiling pattern 16. Semiconductor chip 11 and Au wire 13 are encapsulated with resin 12, and an external connection terminal 14 is electrically connected to land 17 via through hole 19.
In the semiconductor device having this configuration, through hole 19 of insulating substrate 15 for connecting external connection terminal 14 is formed using dice or a drill, by etching or the like. In the case using dice, if the position, size or number of through holes 19 is changed, dice must be manufactured based on each size, resulting in significant increase in the cost. If a drill is used, the number of steps/cost included in the manufacture of the insulating substrate increases as a function of increase in the number of through holes.
Meanwhile, if through hole 19 is formed by etching, the position, number and size of through holes can be changed simply by changing the mask used for etching the insulating substrate, and therefore such changes can be made less costly. Furthermore, the shape of the through hole can be readily changed.
FIG. 17 is a cross sectional view of insulating substrate 15 having through hole 19 formed by dice or a d(ill, and FIG. 18 is a cross sectional view of insulating substrate 15 having through hole 19 processed by etching. In the case of processing with dice or the like, the wall surface of through hole 19 is formed substantially perpendicular to the forming surface of wiring pattern 16, while in the case of etching, the resulting wall surface of through hole 19 is tapered rather than being perpendicular.
A land shape modified by providing a groove at the wall of a through hole is suggested by the disclosure of a conventional BGA-type semiconductor device (Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 11-87427), and according to this conventional technique, an escape passage is provided for flux when a solder ball is mounted in order to improve the placing characteristic of the solder ball. Since the land portion does not entirely cover the substrate side of the through hole, the reliability is degraded accordingly.
The above-described semiconductor device is compact and has an area array structure. A semiconductor device having such a configuration is mounted by reflow on a wiring board such as a printed circuit board. After the mounting by reflow, stress is generated at the connection portion between the semiconductor device and the wiring board because of their different line expansion coefficients or the like in a heating cycle or the like. The above-described semiconductor device has one side of the semiconductor chip encapsulated with mold resin, and therefore a bowing part forms in the semiconductor device as shown in FIG. 19 if the temperature changes because of a phenomenon characteristic to a bimetal-like structure of the semiconductor chip and mold resin. The above difference in the line expansion coefficients or the bowing of the semiconductor device could cause cracks at the connection portion between the semiconductor device and wiring board 18, leading to breaking in some cases.
The structure as shown in FIG. 17 in which the wall of the through hole in the insulating substrate is perpendicular to the circuit forming surface is different from the tapered structure as shown in FIG. 18 in the shape of the connection portion between the semiconductor device and the wiring board. The connection portions take shapes conforming to the wall of through hole 19 as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. If external connection terminal 14 has different shapes as in these figures, the distribution of stress will be different between the connection portions, resulting in different resistance to thermal stress. More specifically, in the structure in FIG. 20, since the stress is dispersed, a high reliability level is secured, while in the case of the tapered structure, the stress concentrates around position A in FIG. 21 and therefore the reliability level is lower in the tapered structure under the same conditions. Hence, changing the shape of the connection portion so as to reduce the concentration of the stress would improve the reliability level.
Since the stress imposed upon the connection portion between the wiring board and the package is generated by difference between the line expansion coefficients of the wiring board and the package and the bowing of the package, the direction of the stress runs radially from the center of the package and the magnitude of the stress increases as a function of the distance from the center of the package.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The shape of the second opening of the mask preferably has a corner portion.
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to yet another aspect of the present invention includes the following steps of:

(c) placing a semiconductor chip on the one surface of the insulating substrate and on the conductive portion; and
(d) filling in the first through hole and fusing a material for an external connection terminal, thereby joining the external connection terminal to the conductive portion through the first through hole.
The first through hole is defined by the sidewall surface of the insulating substrate which is formed such that the opening area of the first through hole increases from the one surface to the other surface of the insulating substrate. The shape of first opening of the mask has a projected portion at a part corresponding to the sidewall surface of the first through hole the farthest from the center of the semiconductor chip.
The shape of the first opening of the mask corresponding to the first through hole positioned immediately under the semiconductor chip the closest to each of the four corners of the semiconductor chip preferably has a projected portion at a part corresponding to a part of the sidewall surface of the first through hole the farthest from the center of the semiconductor chip.

Since the outer peripheral surface of the external connection terminal positioned outside the outer peripheral edge of the semiconductor chip is apart from the sidewall surface of the first through hole in the region including at least a region of the first through hole on a circumference the closest to the center of the semiconductor chip, the reliability can be improved as compared to the conventional devices even if the external connection terminal is located outside the semiconductor chip. In addition, since the outer peripheral surface of the external connection terminal the closest to each of the four corners of the semiconductor chip is apart from the sidewall surface of the first through hole in the region including at least a region of the first through hole on a circumference the closest to the center of the semiconductor chip, the reliability can be more improved.
Since the outer peripheral surface of the external connection terminal is apart from the sidewall of the first through hole in a region including a region of the first through hole on a circumference the farthest from the center of the semiconductor chip and on a circumference the closest to the center of the semiconductor chip, an insulating substrate or an etching mask having the same opening of the first through hole can be used regardless of the size of the insulating substrate relative to the chip size.
In addition, since the outer peripheral surface of the external connection terminal is apart from the sidewall surface of the first through hole in the region having the third and fourth projected portions between the first and second projected portions, respectively, the precision of the central position of the external connection terminal and the height of the external connection terminal of the semiconductor device can be more equalized.
Furthermore, since the second through hole is provided in the region between the first through holes in the insulating substrate and in the region other than the conductive layer, stress can be more alleviated, and if the opening of the second through hole is formed into a shape other than a circular shape, the stress can be even more alleviated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will be now described in detail with reference to embodiments thereof.
FIG. 1 is a view of through holes before being provided with external connection terminals in a semiconductor device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, seen from the backside of the semiconductor device, FIG. 2 is a view after external connection terminals are provided, seen from the backside of the semiconductor device, and FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken along line III—III in FIG. 2. The semiconductor device according to the embodiment is a foursquare type, CSP, and more specifically, a semiconductor chip 1 is mounted on a foursquare wiring (interconnection) board 5 as an insulating substrate, and a wiring (interconnection) pattern 6 for connection with semiconductor chip 1 is formed as a conductive layer in an outer peripheral region of semiconductor chip 1. Semiconductor chip 1 and wiring pattern 6 are electrically connected by wire-bonding using a gold (Au) wire 3.
Wiring board 5 is provided with an array of first through holes 9 formed such that its opening area expands from the semiconductor chip mounting surface toward the opposite surface. Similarly to the conventional cases, first through hole 9 can be readily formed by application of photoresist on an insulating substrate, patterning to form an opening having the following shape and etching using the patterned photoresist as a mask. The etching may be either wet or dry etching. The first through hole may be provided using a laser.
The shape of the opening formed in the photoresist is desirably a circular shape having a projected portion in a region including at least a region on a circumference the farthest from the center of semiconductor chip 1. Also as shown in FIG. 1, the opening shape of photoresist corresponding to a first through hole 91 positioned immediately under semiconductor chip 1 and the closest to at least each of the four corners of semiconductor chip 1 is desirably a circular shape having a projected portion 91 a in a region including at least a region on a circumference the farthest from the center of semiconductor chip 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the opening shape of photoresist corresponding to a first through hole 92 positioned outside the edge of semiconductor chip 1 is desirably a circular shape having a projected portion 92 a in a region including at least a region on a circumference the closest to the center of semiconductor chip 1. Among first through holes 92 outside semiconductor chip 1, the opening shape of photoresist corresponding to first through holes 921 the closest to the four corners of semiconductor chip 1 is desirably a circular shape having a projected portion 921 a in a region including at least a region on a circumference the closest to the center of semiconductor chip 1. As shown in FIG. 10, the opening shape of photoresist corresponding to a first through hole 93 may be a circular shape having a first projected portion 93 a and a second projected portion 93 b, respectively in a region including a region on a circumference the farthest from the center of semiconductor chip 1 and in a region including a region on a circumference the closest to the center of semiconductor chip 1, while as shown in FIG. 11, the opening shape of photoresist corresponding to a first through hole 94 may be a circular shape having a third projected portion 94 c and a fourth projected portion 94 d between a first projected portion 94 a and a second projected portion 94 b, respectively. As shown in FIG. 15, there may be provided an opening (second through hole) 10 in a region of photoresist corresponding to a region between first through holes 9 in insulating substrate 5 and in a region other than land portion 7, and the shape of the opening is desirably a non-circular shape.
In a region between semiconductor chip 1 and wiring board 5 provided is land portion 7 for connecting an external connection terminal (hereinafter simply as “land portion”) covering the entire surface of the opening of first through hole 9 and electrically connected with wiring pattern 6.
After semiconductor chip 1 is mounted on wiring board 5, semiconductor chip 1 and wire 3 are encapsulated by resin 2 by a transfer molding method, and a solder ball is connected to land portion 7 as an external connection terminal 4 through first through hole 9. More specifically, first through hole 9 is filled with a solder ball or the like to be a material for the external connection terminal and fused (reflow), so that the entire surface of land portion 7 and the solder ball are connected to form external connection terminal 4.
Wiring pattern 6 and land portion 7 are formed by a copper (Cu) foil, and a surface exposed from first through hole 9 in land portion 7 on the chip placing side is plated with nickel (Ni) and gold (Au). When the Ni/Au-plated surface is subjected to solder connection, a Au—Sn alloy layer is formed in the vicinity of the joint, but the alloy layer is hard and brittle and could be easily broken by the concentration of stress.
Therefore, according to the present invention, the opening shape of first through hole 9 has a circular shape having a projected portion 9 a on a circumference as shown in FIG. 13. Projected portion 9 a is desirably provided in a region of first through hole 9 where stress is concentrated at the connection portion between land portion 7 and external connection terminal 4, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the projected portion is formed in a region including a region the farthest from the center of semiconductor chip 1 on a circumference of first through hole 9. When all the external connection terminals are positioned under semiconductor chip 1, stress concentrates at the position the farthest from the center of the package as shown in FIG. 19, and therefore projected portion 91 a is formed at each of first through holes 91 the closest to the four corners of semiconductor chip 1 as shown in FIG. 1. Note that in FIG. 13, the shape of land portion 7 takes a similar shape to first through hole 9 to secure a margin, but the present invention is not limited to this particular shape as shown in broken line in FIG. 13, as long as at least land portion 7 can cover the entire opening portion of first through hole 9.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the portion to which a solder ball is connected as external connection terminal 4 in FIG. 3. The shape of external connection terminal 4 after the solder ball is connected allows the solder to wet and spread over projected portion 7 a (FIG. 13) and the balance of the surface tension of the solder allows the vicinity of the interface of the joint between land portion 7 and the solder ball as external connection terminal 4 to take a shape almost perpendicular to a wiring pattern forming surface 71 on one side, and an angular shape on the other side. More specifically, the shape of the joint at the part of first through hole 9 provided with projected portion 9 a is different from the other part, and external connection terminal 4 is apart from the sidewall of through hole 9, and takes a shape almost perpendicular to wiring pattern forming surface 71. Therefore, in the cross section shown in FIG. 4, temperature cycle resistance is improved because stress is dispersed around the vicinity of the joint between the solder ball as external connection terminal 4 and land portion 7.
According to the present invention, in the part of first through hole 9 provided with projected portion 9 a, external connection terminal 4 is provided apart from the sidewall of first through hole 9, stress is dispersed and this feature similarly applies to the following embodiments.
Meanwhile, a part of a cross section taken along line V—V in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 5, takes an angular form on both sides, and stress concentrates at the connection portion between the solder ball as external connection terminal 4 and land portion 7 as described above. However, the shape of first through hole 9 is formed into a circular shape provided with projected portion 9 a, the solder ball as external connection terminal 4 takes a shape as shown in FIG. 4 and the reliability improves.
The size and shape of projected portion 9 a provided at first through hole 9 is optimized by the material and size of the solder ball such that there is no position with stress concentration at the connection portion between the land and solder ball. According to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, a circular land portion having a base material as thick as 0.05 mm and a diameter of 0.4 mm is provided with a projected portion 9 a cut at an angle of 45° and a depth of 0.03 mm.
In the semiconductor device according to the present invention, the method of electrically connecting semiconductor chip 1 and insulating substrate 5 is not particularly limited to the die bonding method between semiconductor chip 1 and insulating substrate 5. Insulating substrate 5 is a resin substrate or film having high thermal resistance and the material is not particularly limited.
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a view of through holes seen from the side of an external connection terminal. The embodiment corresponds to a semiconductor device including two semiconductor chips 1 mounted upon each other. Since drawing of a wiring pattern is more complicated than the case of the first embodiment, the number of lands whose shapes can be changed decreases if the same wiring rule is applied. Therefore, projected portion 9 a is formed only in the vicinity of through hole 9 which is positioned far from the center of the package, subject to the largest stress, and might have cracks earlier than any other parts.
FIG. 8 is a view of the opening shape of a land in a semiconductor device according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view thereof. In the semiconductor device according to the embodiment, external connection terminal 4 is mounted inside and outside of the placing position of semiconductor chip 1. In such a structure, stress on the solder connection portion is imposed on external connection terminals 4 the farthest from the center of the package among external connection terminals 4 under semiconductor chip 1, and on external connection terminals 4 the closest to the center of the package among external connection terminals 4 outside semiconductor chip 1. Therefore, in the semiconductor device according to the embodiment, a first through hole 90 under semiconductor chip 1 has a projected portion 90 a outward from the package, and a first through hole 92 outside semiconductor chip 1 has a projected portion 92 a toward the center of the package. By providing projected portion 91 a at least at first through hole 91 positioned immediately under semiconductor chip 1 the closest to each of the four corners of semiconductor chip 1, the concentration of stress can be reduced, and a projected portion 921 a is desirably provided at first through hole 921 positioned outside semiconductor chip 1 and the closest to each of the four corners of semiconductor chip 1.
The projected portion to be formed at first through hole 9 does not have to be in one direction as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. As shown in FIG. 10, since projected portions 93 a and 93 b are provided in two directions of first through hole 93, an insulating substrate or an etching mask having the same opening shape for the first through hole can be used regardless of the chip size. As shown in FIG. 11, if projected portions 94 a, 94 b, 94 c and 94 d are provided in four directions of first through hole 94, the shape of all the balls can be the same. Furthermore, since a first through hole 95 having a square shape can provide the same effects as one form provided with projected portions in four directions of a circle as shown in FIG. 12.
As shown in FIG. 15, as a fourth embodiment, a second through hole 10 for air vent provided between land portions may be formed using the same mask simultaneously at the time of forming first through hole 9, so that the concentration of stress can be more reduced. The opening shape of second through hole 10 may be a circular shape or a non-circular shape, and if, for example, such a non-circular shape as a cross shape having a corner portion, an L shape, a rectangular shape or the like is employed, the concentration of stress can be even more reduced. In particular, the cross shape can effectively reduce stress in any of the lengthwise and transverse directions, but if an opening of a cross shape is difficult to form in connection with a wiring pattern, an L shape or a rectangular shape may be employed.
In the semiconductor device according to the present invention, the shape of the land is not restricted, and by providing a projected portion in a region where stress concentrates in the connection portion of the land portion and the external connection terminal, the connection shape between land portion 7 and the solder ball as external connection terminal 4 as shown in FIG. 4 can provide the same effects.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
